Edible, but completely mediocre. I guess if you're having a serious hankering for Teh Soosh, and you can't be arsed to even walk down to Sushi D, this place'll do. Maybe the proximity is good for takeout? Though I'm not really much of a takeout sushi person. I'm generally kind of "why bother?" about this place. Though it always seems well-populated when I walk by. Meh. read more

I have been to Yamashiro twice. I have been looking for good sushi in my neighborhood for a while and this is it. The fish is fresh. The prices are VERY reasonable. The sushi is presented with style. The restaurant is small but the service is excellent. They start you with a small complimentary starter from the sushi bar and end with a delicious, sweet orange. I see that some of the other "sushi restaurants" in the area are noted for their Ramen and receive high ratings for that. My rating is for the sushi...which is awesome. read more

Outrageous prices for extremely mediocre food. $15 for flavorless chicken katsu with no sides or anything. will not be going back

Great Sushi, great service and very fair prices. Lunch specials every day until 3PM! I eat here several times a week and haven't gotten tired of the menu once. read more

See all

Very nice sushi place and affordable too. The place is very small yet cozy and warm for the winter. I had a rainbow and a spicy salmon roll, they were very good, very nice presentation. It was also fast. read more

Servers were very friendly. However, don't eat here if you're in a hurry, our sushi took a little long. The prices are very fair though. We ordered a lychee mojito and a sake tini. Both were very good, but boy was the sake tini strong! Our sushi was good. The seaweed was a slightly soft and my spicy tuna was on the salty side. The green tea ice cream was yummy-2 scoops with whipped cream! read more

Take out was quick and easy. We didn't get a whole lot, but the sweet potato tempura rolls were delicious. Also, they have soy paper options, which I appreciate. read more

Our server was really friendly and patience after a bit of waiting we got our sushi and the miso soup Everything was great ! read more

I love this place. I find the delivery a little slow but take out is super quick. I get pretty basic sushi rolls - tuna and salmon, and miso soup but both are really delicious! The fish is fresh and NOM NOM NOM. The staff is nice here too, the place is pretty tiny but it's always dead when I stop in for my 2 roll $9 lunch. Update: Started stopping by to pick up my order and it's fairly quick. The vegetable rolls are AMAZING. read more

I love this place. I often order lunch from here, and the chefs and waitresses are always so nice. I appreciated their willingness to substitute salad for rice to accommodate my dietary restrictions, and their care in making sure the order is right. I often order the chirashi and the chefs display it beautifully. Good sashimi and sushi at a wonderful price. Perfect for local convenience. read more

I wanted to like this place so much. And I did, until my boyfriend bit down on an expensive roll and a huge salmon bone was pulled out of his mouth. We mentioned it very nicely to the waitress who took the roll back and showed the rest of the staff. Her manager proceeded to make excuses for it and offered the other pieces back. Frankly, we were a bit scared to eat the rest of it and declined. We ended up being charged for the bony roll we didn't eat. We weren't even offered a replacement and we were charged for the food we couldnt eat. What restaurant does that??? Such a bummer, seeing this is a few blocks from my house. I doubt well ever go back. read more

Tiny restaurant. Calamari was bland and cheaply prepared. I suspect it was made from frozen pack. Sushi was ok. Why I gave it 1 Star is bc the way we were treated. We were treated differently from other customers. Small restaurant so u can watch all interactions w/every table and the waiters. Every table was greeted w/cleaning hand towels, we weren't. At the end of meal all tables got complimentary orange slices w/check we didn't. We were the only black patrons then. Prob assume we wouldn't tip. After being offended, we still left a tip. We didn't want to live up to the stereotype. This is not the first time I've been out to a restaurant and experience this kind of treatment. I was really upset to the fact I wrote on the check, "you should not treat any of your customers different from another bc of race". I would never go back there again. read more

The ramen is too salty that I can't barely finish it. And the fried rice is dry and flat too.

This place is okay if you are in the neighborhood! It was pouring rain a couple of months and to ecape the rain I went in here to sit down...after about 5 minutes..I was like hell..i mind as well eat here...so I order Miso Soup Spider roll Spicy Tuna roll Meh...it was good...not great..hence I completely forgot I even went here..only remembered because yesterday I walked pass it and was like.."damn you been here" so i figured I would yelp it. All in all if in area and want sushi..sure go for it...but by no means do you need to make a special trip here! read more

Nothing exceptional but a fairly inoffensive if not a bit overpriced sushi joint. There are definitely better sushi spots in Manhattan and I've heard that there is a rotary sushi spot in Brooklyn, however if you are a Pratt student or you live within walking distance of this place, you can certainly do a lot worse. Usually the best approach for this place is to order a variety of items and then split them up with a bunch of friends. I'm very fond of their Shu Mai and Dragon Rolls but most of their appetizers are pretty good too. If you are on a college budget, the prices of most of the entrees will definitely take you back a bit. The fried ice cream here is also very good and definitely a step-up from the usual overpriced desert nickel-and-diming tactic. I agree with Katie here, the waiters are pretty bad at knowing when to actually hand over the check but if you go up to the counter they'll listen and get it to you. The place is very small and pretty much every time I've went there has only been about one table available to sit at. This is probably more because they are the only halfway decent sushi spot in the area (the only other place I can think of is the borderline abysmal Sushi Okdol) than it is anything about their actual quality. read more

Honestly, this is just a decent Japanese restaurant. I've almost tried their entire menu, so I usually stick to my usual. It's either a few sushi rolls and appetizers day for me or a bento box day. For sushi, I don't know why, but I like their spicy tuna. I usually order seaweed salad to pair with it. For the bento box, I like their katsu; their tempura and teriyaki is just ok. I hate the shumai that come with it though, it's so greasy and gross. Do not get their tempura ice cream either, it's disgusting. I come here fairly often when I have to get my Japanese food fix and because it's right by Pratt . Other than that, I would not go out of my way to eat here. read more

I agree with another reviewer. Hit or miss. Sometimes i left saying WOW and sometimes i left saying did i actually eat there? I have been going here for about 5 years and the prices are not cheap than most but it is the comfortability of being one of the few sushi restaurants in the area. However it better step up it's game because another just opened right down the block. They need to change the menu design and liven up the place a bit. It can be dull and dark and maybe they should change to be a take out sushi joint only? Overall the sushi is not bad...so i am thinking the experience can affect the food. read more

I've been using Yelp since it started and this is review 3. I ordered delivery, toro nigiri, tamago, masago and the Hawaii roll. It was absolutely awesome! Delivery was quick and for any price this fish was fresh, well prepared and fantastic. Absolutely great job! read more

Terrible, overpriced sushi. Unfortunately it's one of the few places that delivers to my area of Bed-Stuy, so once every couple months or so I'll break down and order from this shithole. The only reason why I've ordered from them multiple times is bc it was really good one time about a year and a half ago. It's not good anymore. The fish isn't fresh (do *not* try sushi or sashimi) and the rolls are uncreative. Also, the delivery guy never says thank you or smiles even though I tip more than enough. read more

Ordered delivery: Coconut shrimp roll, which sounded great, came as a shrimp tempura roll with nothing coconutty about it. It was a good shrimp tempura but I think they forgot the coconut. Sushi joints usually don't mess up vegetable rolls, so that was perfect. It has good ratings and looks interesting to visit. I am still actually wanting a coconut shrimp roll. I'll try eating in and see what it's like! read more

Very consistent food across the entire menu. Their lunch specials are well priced, tasty and served quickly. Their prices are more than fair and everyone who works here is very polite. read more

Yamashiro - Vegetable Noodle Soup with Udon - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really like Yamashiro and have gone cross-boro to get to it. Well, it was more like we had business in Brooklyn and remembered that we love their rolls. Truth be told, the girlfriend and I went here for our Valentine's Day dinner. Fully intent on breaking the bank, we somehow managed to keep the bill at around $40, which considering that we actually had food to take home was a bit of a delightful surprise. And, happily, for the first time, I tried an actual entree instead of wolfing down fifteen thousand different rolls. I had the yaki udon and boy did I learn I loved udon. The beef was good -- not chewy, and had time to soak up whatever delicious sauce was in there. I know I like sushi and I know I like teriyaki, so maybe it's time to branch out. But, of course, there were rolls. Oh, God, yes there were rolls. The dynamite roll is exactly that -- an explosion of great flavor and texture in your bewildered mouth. It's spicy, tempura-fried, and filled with crab. Other favorites include the shrimp tempura roll, eel avocado and caterpillar roll. The presentation is always charming. The waitstaff can be a little. . . odd, though. There's one waitress who seems permanently annoyed and does a bad job hiding it. I understand being succinct, but sometimes I feel like I'm wasting her time. read more

Despite fairly mixed reviews from others, I'd have to say that Yamashiro is definitely above average, bordering on very good, with bonus points for being good, within 2 blocks of my house, and pretty quick. Price is good in the grand scheme of things, sushi is always fresh and tasty, and the other dishes I've had (mostly fried rice and some others) are very good (perhaps better than the sushi even). Either way, 4 stars in my book - it's a great lunch while working from home or quick food in the evening kind of place. read more

Just ok. I ordered delivery, which was very fast. The food, however, mediocre. The Tiger Roll sounded very exciting in the menu, but not so much in real life. The Phoenix Roll was ok. The Udon was soooo bland, but had an undercurrant of MSG. I was not impressed, but may try again as it is in my neighbourhood, and don't want to make a final decision before testing the waters again. read more

Considering I just finished vomiting up the yellowtail roll, white tuna roll and seaweed salad I ordered from this place, I feel it's pretty safe to say I will NEVER go here again nor would I recommend it!!! If I could give negative stars I would. Thanks for the food poisoning although I would have preferred a free miso soup if given a choice. read more

If you are expecting this place to be some kind of incredible high end sushi bar then the prices on the menu should let you know you may be disappointed. But if you're looking for decent quality neighborhood sushi this place is excellent. This place hits the spot whenever I have needed my sushi fix. Which is pretty often actually. I love that they have all my delivery info on file and all I have to do is give them my phone number and order. I have never received fishy sushi and they are always prompt with the delivery. I don't have any complaints really. read more

For all you people complaining about the price, there is a reason why the price are more expensive then before. The food cost has increased, by that it mean the people or the company supplying Yamashiro demand more money then the past few years. But on the bright side it is still cheaper then Waza. I enjoy most of the dishes. I especially like the Lunch box it serve. read more

The smoked salmon sashimi is like butter in your mouth! It's a bit dark inside and definitely small, but it makes for a cozy environment. Staff to me is 1/2 if the dining experience and I would give them 4.5 out of 5 stars. Only because I believe in no service is perfect and there is always something that can be done better. read more

Everything is great but I'm especially addicted to the spicy scallion ramen. If I don't have it for about a month I start going into withdrawals. Amazing. read more

I've only gotten delivery here several times and am in LOVE with the "pinky lady" (no tomago) roll and pumpkin soup. I usually have an unusually hard time understanding the lady on the phone but they are nice and they come relatively quickly. I haven't been in there yet though. I recommend this place. read more

Delicious, fresh sushi/sashimi, and beautifully plated. The owner and servers are very attentive and generous. I was offered whitefish tempura on the house to go with my wasabi roll and yellowtail. The itamaes are artistes! read more

Yamashiro - Yamashiro Wasabi roll, yellowtail sushi and striped bass sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I got the shrimp tempura roll. It was disgusting. I payed $.50 cent for mayo sauce and they lightly sprinkled the mayo sauce over. I'm disgusted. read more

This place is very accommodating for vegans/vegetarians. Miso soup was well done, as well as the shiitake mushroom soup. Vegetarian sushi entree was delicious and well presented, and they were careful not to put any mayo on the sushi (vegan). Also, they checked to make sure if butter was okay on the vegetable yaki udon, and after we said no they accommodated by cooking in oil instead. Prices are reasonable. Would go back. read more

I definitely recommend the Dynamite roll! It's sooooo good. Also, I love how lowkey this spot is. Very romantic!!!!

Delivery review: I ordered the seafood ramen and shumi and it arrived on time or early. The shumi was fine but the ramen was barely edible. The noodles were under cooked and there was a brown? possibly burnt? Hard boiled egg in the soup, that was awful. There were two whole clams at the bottom which might have been better for dine in if they were on top. The crab was in strands through out the soup I found that slightly strange. The broth was awful and tasted slightly rotten. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

My favorite sushi spot in the area. So quaint. Great service. Delicious food - love the gyoza and the dynamite roll. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. read more

They make the best pan fried rice I have ever had. I will be transparent and say that and the gyoza are all I have ever had from here. Thats all I need though! The fried rice comes with different meat choices and it always is enough for two meals for me. So even though it might seem a tad pricy at first, it actually is a really good deal. They also have friendly staff that seem to care about customers. The place is small, but what isn't in nyc. I wish I lived closer because I am just out of delivery range, otherwise I would have this several times a month! Even though I have only had two things from the menu I have been with others that ordered sushi and loved it. I have one friend who goes to Pratt who eats here all the time! I would highly recommend eating here. read more

I don't think I'm the only person whose stomach turns when their sushi arrives smelling like a hiker's vajayjay.

The most delicious sushi I've had in this part of BK. Fresh sashimi, each fish was delicious and the rolls are very tasty.

This is a great sushi spot in Clinton hill. I've tried several of their rolls and they are all good. The lunch specials are killer! 3 rolls are about $12. 50 with tax included, and they do not skimp put on the fish ! The special also includes soup or salad. Very nice workers as well. read more
